Invoice date

Hello,

we have troubles with Invoice date. The date on Invoice should be the date of shipping and not the date of ordering/creating order. How can we change that?

Hi,
You'll be able to edit it by editing the code of your "invoice" file of your "order" view of your back-end template through "Hikashop->Display->Views"

Thank you, I know that, but I need to know what exact must I change in code.

For example if we do code like that:

<?php echo JText::_('DATE').': '.hikashop_getDate($this->element->order_modified,'%d %B %Y ');?><br/>

Then all are DATES on 18.10.2013,

but if I leave like default

<?php echo JText::_('DATE').': '.hikashop_getDate($this->element->order_created,'%d %B %Y ');?><br/>

then is the date of creation.

How is the code if I want the date of shipping on Invoice?

There are two dates available in the order: The date of the creation of the order, and the date of the latest modification of the order.
The date of shipping is not known.

If you want to manually enter the date of shipping for each order, you can create a custom field of the table "order" and of the type "date" via the menu Display>Custom fields, with the Business edition.
Then, you can use such code:
<?php echo JText::_('DATE').': '.$this->element->CUSTOM_FIELD; ?><br/>

where CUSTOM_FIELD is the column name of the custom field.

I too would like to edit my invoice... however I can't find the "invoice" file in my "order" view... what am I missing?

In fact I have no backend files for my template?

Mystery solved... I found the invoice.php file in folder plugins-hikashop-attachinvoice... I assume it got moved there when I installed the " attach invoice " plugin...

After finding it, editing the PHP file was easy enough.
